Abstract

Snakes in Iceland
Levin, Harry | February 19, 1938 issue

The article focuses on the book "Literary Opinion in America" edited by Morton Dauwen Zabel. To so uncertain and fitful a subject as contemporary American criticism the mere appearance of a book like this lends a harmony and a dignity that are somewhat specious. Interesting as they are, none of these fifty essays seems an inevitable choice. It would be easy to suggest critics who could have been included; it would be impolite to point to articles that might have been left out. It might be possible to compile several other volumes of the same size and scope without duplicating material.
